Pop Guns

[rimfire_crazed]

Attempted to get in some range time this morning at Pop Guns. Arrived at 11:15 and got in line. Was told that there would be an hour wait. No big deal - I can shop around, look at their ridiculous prices, chat with others shooters. An hour goes by and i check my position in line and I still have three shooters ahead of me - at least another hour - although if I want to buy a membership for $149, I can get on the range immediately. NOT A CHANCE.

@1:30 I inquired about my position in line and was told I would be on a lane in 20 minutes. So, I figured I waited this long - I'll wait it out. Just as my lane opens up, a member comes in and bumps me.

So - I basically hung around a gun shop for 2 hours today. Didn't get to handle anything fun - didn't get to hear any war stories, didn't get to watch anyone sing country music, and didn't get any secondhand smoke.

I walked out in a huff. I've REPEATEDLY tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and they've repeatedly crapped on me. I will never give them another cent of my business.

I did watch a gentleman buying a derringer need to be coached filling out a 4473. Apparently he answered a few questions wrong and was told in no uncertain terms what the answers to those questions needed to be before they could sell him the gun. I expect to see that kind of behavior on the other side of town but not at Pop's.

I need to join MCFG asap. Even if I were to go back to Pop Guns, I doubt they'd let me shoot.

If you want to go shoot at MCFG this week send me a pm and I will take you out there.

i have a question about MCF&G can you join at anytime dureing the year?

 

[Rob377]

Yeah, my last outing at Pops convinced me of the same thing. Just can't decide between MCFG or Atlanta CC. I'm smack-dab in the middle of the two.

You must go to the once monthly meeting and join then. But it is anytime of the year.

You can shoot rifles as long as they are in the traditional pistol calibers.

No 30-06,223 .....etc

MCFG is a good choice if you live in the general area. They have monthly meetings (7pm 3/2 is the next one) where you can attend, learn about the place and join. If you want to preview the range, you might be able to get someone to bring you as a guest (free to look around, $10 to shoot).

More info at the MCFG web site.

never go into pop guns unless you are a cop or you will be treated like crap. Most of us Vets have more trigger time than any of those rude ******* in there, but they still try to push there knowledge of nothing on you and swear by products that have been proven to be junk by soldiers down range. they can keep there holy'er than thou attitude because my money is going somewhere else. id rather pay a higher price to not have to deal with *** holes like the ones in pop guns!

I had no idea that MCFG didn't allow 30-06 and .223 there.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Oh yeah. I guested there once about eight years ago and couldn't imagine shooting centerfire rifles there - it's smack in a residential area!

 

[SKSnut]

rude, if they pay any attention at all.

Highly recommend MCFG, been a member for a few years and met a lot of nice people with like interest. I will be heading there one day this week also.
